"All might, Can someone with a quirk like mine become a hero?"

"I'm afraid I can't say, I've never heard of a quirk like yours before..." All Might said thinking, "It might be safer to become a police officer or firefighter..."

"But more importantly... I must go and deliver this criminal..." At this moment All Might noticed he had lost the slime villain and hurried off the roof.

Izuku Midoriya, still standing on the roof, hears an explosion in the distance. 'Well I can think about this later' he thinks as he walks down the stairs to the exit.

"Why aren't the heros doing anything?"

"They can't. The villain caught a kid. It's been a stalemate for a while."

Izuku took a closer look at the villian. 'Caught? For a while?' He remembers the short time he was caught, 'How can they survive the suffocation, It nearly had me in seconds.'

'Where is All Might? He left before me, even emancipated he can't be this slow...' Izuku froze thinking 'His time limit! It's all my fault...'

Looking between the heros and the villain, 'we just have to wait for a compatible quirk to arrive.'

At this moment his eyes meet the victim. 'Wait, is that...'

Izuku leaves the crowd at a dead sprint before he could finish his thought.

"What are you doing" "kid stop!" the crowd and heros shout, Death Arms narrowly misses grabbing his shoulder.

'What am I doing...' Izuku panics as he gets closer to the villain.

"This brat!" The villain yells.

'Well I have no choice now' Izuku sighs as he activates his quirk. In a puff of smoke he disappears.

'What the, why didn't he use this against me' thought the slime villain.

All might could only stare in shock, 'That's not what I thought when he described it to me.'

Where Izuku had been running a large bipedal jug filled with a red liquid was sprinting towards the slime.

"OH YEAH!" it shouted as it body-slammed the slime grabbing Bakugo and rolling a short distance. Turning around it placed itself between Bakugo and the slime. The slime quickly recovered and slapped the jug into the nearby wall, it bounced off but cracked as it hit the ground, shattering as the villain hit it again.

Out of the liquid rolled Izuku apparently unharmed.

"Deku!" shouted Bakugo, "your worthless quirk isn't saving me"

"This is no time for pointing fingers kids" says the slime villain as he readies another strike.

All the heroes rush forward.

"We have to save them" yells Death arms.

The sound of an explosion and a cloud of smoke covers the scene.

"I really am pathetic."

'All might' Izuku thought as he looked up at his idol

"Even though I couldn't give you a straight answer..." All might says as he grabs both Izuku and Bakugo's hands "Pros always risk their lives!" Pulling them behind himself.

"DETROIT SMASH!" he yells as he blows the villain away with air pressure, civilians and heros struggling to stay standing as a tornado of wind blows into the sky.

Wiping blood off his mouth as he stands in the now rainy street, All might raises his fist to the cheers of the crowd.

Walking down the street Izuku thinks of Bakugo's thanks, 'I might not have done much, but at least I didn't make it worse...'

Suddenly All Might appears from an ally.

"I Am Here!"

"A-all Might?! What are you doing here? Weren't you busy with reporters?"

"Getting away from them was a piece of cake." he laughs, "Why? Because I am All Migh..."

Shrinking to his base form with a cough of blood All Might descends into a coughing fit.

Wiping the blood off his face he says "young man... I come with thanks, a correction and a request."

"Huh?" Izuku manages as he stares at nothing.

"If you weren't there... If you hadn't gone to save the kid... I would have become a hypocrite. Thank you."

"That isn't true, it was my fault, if I hadn't gotten in the way of your work. If I hadn't taken so long with my question..."

"It was because you were so unsure of yourself, and yet acted, that inspired me to act."

Izuku looked up at All might unsure of what he was hearing.

"Tell me, young man what was going on in your head when you decided to save the kid?"

"I... I d-don't know... I just started running..."

"Exactly, there are stories about every hero, how they became great, most have one thing in common, their bodies moved before they could think..."

Izuku stared at All Might, tears in his eyes.

"Young man, you to can become a hero"

...

...

...

"You are worthy of inheriting my power"

"Eeh?"

"But first I really need to know more about your Quirk."
